His videos on Christmas lights are wonderfully nerdy and niche.

Gen 1 is also getting this update.

I know it sucks to not have your truck, but at least they seems to be really working hard towards finding a solution!

I think that little panel reflects the "Current Drive" data on the Energy app.... Which doesn't have a reset other than not having driven for a while...

The only thought I have is where you mentioned going off-road a bit.... the vans are single motor (to my knowledge), and the tires are not all-terrains. If your meaning of 'off road' is just 'dirt road', you should be okay, but it's something to keep in mind.

Guess that's another thing to add to list of "differences between service centers"? Or maybe something that changed inbetween your service appointments...

I'm only guessing it was that. But how he responded to me by including a screenshot of my profile pic, it's a pretty decent guess to make.

A warm(er) garage does help! I remember seeing better numbers in my Model 3 (way back when) after my wife and I insulated our garage - even with the garage being just a few degrees warmer than it had been before. I don't know exactly what battery and motor temps are the 'happiest' for those...

This whole philosophy is why I love towing my trailer with my R1T (and before it Model Y) - I'm taking time to enjoy things, which is increasingly lost in this modern world in my opinion.

I was close after he ignored me, but I like to think I have thicker skin than someone that went right for insulting my apperance.

If you're doing just quick little trips in the city without some sustained driving (5+ miles), then the motors and battery will have not warmed up a lot (outside of summer of course). So for example, my three mile commute to work isn't as efficient because of this. Granted for me it's...

Some vehicle manuals have a separate, vertical-load weight rating - the Model Y did. That's was I was looking for in the R2 manual but couldn't find.

I can't find a reference in the R2 Owner's Guide to non-trailer hitch weight limits, but I know that with my previous Model Y it was limited to about 175lbs for vertical loads like bike racks, etc. And that was with their tow rating of 350lbs trailer tongue weight....

Guessing that would require time in a SC, right? Can't be done Mobile? I'm not 100% sure of the sound you are describing, maybe I need to drive home today without music playing to see if I can hear what you are talking about. (Plus, there's lots of thunks and clunks and maybe some squeaks when...

How many F-150s does Ford make and sell per year? I feel like it's a lot... (unless you are framing this as EV only?)
